The Tornante Company, headed by former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, is funding the project. Eisner bought Topps, the company that made the trading cards, in 2007 and is now planning to scar a whole new generation of children with the grotesque group's antics.

When you sit down and explain to your little darlings why someone is embarking on a remake of a film once called "too repulsive for children or adults of any age," go ahead and introduce them to the wonderful world of the original trading cards from the '80s, which in were intended to parody the wildly popular Cabbage Patch Kids. As you may recall, they have charming names like Gooey Huey and Adam Bomb.

After they stop crying, tell us: Were you a fan of the original? And is this remake gonna be good, or just disgusting?
